Week 4 and what a difference

This week saw a massive upturn in the figures shown by the BT checker. The first exchange to break 100 registrations and a couple more nudging the 100 mark. The current top 10 is shown below:

The full list of almost 500 exchanges that we are monitoring can be see here.

The figures are very telling in that five out of the top 10 dont have a trigger level set yet. At the current rate of growth the Kesgrave exchange could hit its trigger level in another 3-4
months.

Interest in broadband is obviously high - from our exchange data page we have received over 850 listing submissions in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately this interest is scattered around the
country but at present it would seem sensible for BT Wholesale to perhaps start looking at the top 15 exchanges and start to get hardware on order.
